UNW Collective Agreement with the UNW - Article 24, Pay

No, part-time employees receive annual increments regardless of the number of hours worked during the year.

Yes, increment dates are postponed by all leaves of absence except the following:

• leaves of absence less than six months;
• leaves of absence without pay to work for another government department, board or agency;
• maternity leave; and
• adoption leave.

An increment postponed by a leave of absence is due when the employee returns to work and completes a year of paid full-time employment from the effective date of the last increment. This includes the periods of service before and after the absence.

No, the increment date of an employee who is transferred or whose position is re-evaluated does not change.

An employee, except a casual employee, who is rehired within two years of his/her last date of employment with the Employer to perform the same duties shall be paid at the same step as he/she was being paid at when he/she ceased to be an employee.

On promotion, if you were due an increment within six months, the increment is granted before the pay for the new position is calculated. The increment date is then changed to the first day of the month of your promotion.

Increments are granted to employees in recognition of service and satisfactory performance.

The increment date (annual review date) is based on the anniversary date of your appointment or most recent promotion or the date you were hired as a casual to perform the same duties as the new appointment if there was no break between the casual and indeterminate service. You can confirm your last increment date at Self-Service > Payroll and Compensation > Compensation History .Pay increments, which are recommended by the Deputy Head, shall be granted the first day of the month.

Providing you are still acting in the position while on leave, you would still earn the allowance.  This should be confirmed by your regular supervisor.  This applies to Vacation, Sick, Special, Lieu, Mandatory Leave, Stats etc.

If you are acting over a stat. and you do NOT normally enter anything to be paid for the stat, enter the hours with only the responsibility allowance code.
